♦Thank you for understanding our pains and struggles.

Hi Kim,

Thank you again. You made the right in decision in choosing Dia as one of your coach. And I wanted to say thank you also to her.

I failed in Celban before, but I said I’m going to try again. And when I enrolled in your class, I know I will be learning all that I needed to pass the exam. It was indeed an experience.

I didn’t meet you in person yet, just once during the webinar session but I will say it again, I know you know it already, and a lot of IEN’s have told you this, but you are such a very trust worthy person. Thank you for this kind of review that you have. This is the answer to our search for something that can help us to go to the very first step of attaining our goal in this country. Thank you for understanding our pains and struggles. This is just my first step, but I know I am going there.. It is still a long process but I will never give up.

When CELAS gave me a seat for the exam I grab it and a week before, I go through all your e-mails in my inbox … I don’t know but I needed something where I can get more strength and I ask to HIM to please give it to me this time.

God bless your pure and kind heart Kim. More power to your staff. Please dont get tired but I know your job is not easy and you get tired too. I pray for you,.. More strength and healthy body and more dreams to be fulfilled in your life and your love ones. Kim, every knowledge or information that you share and teach is an enlightenment for me..

Thank you, thank you so much. I will keep in touch with you, by making sure that every IEN’s that I meet they must have to know you and your team.

You take care always and thank you so much Kim.

Dear H,

Thank you for the affirmation about hiring Dia [as a Writing Coach]. It was an easy choice, really! But I am glad that you have confirmed this to be a wise choice. I appreciate your comment about my trustworthiness. This is very important to me: there are too many people wanting to take advantage of immigrants; there are too many people online creating scams, with the only intention to hurt or steal from others. Yet it is amazing to me when I get emails from people who accuse me of doing such things. “Really,” I wonder. “Have you ever interacted with me? Have you worked with me? Have you attended online sessions?” When it happens, which is rare, I think about people like you who have been so very positive and so very encouraging and so very appreciative.

Your thank yous are so appreciated as I embark on creating a new course for listening, to be followed by one for reading. Only this time it is for Internationally Educated Health Professionals! I am smiling with delight thinking of how many more people I can help fulfill their dreams of life in Canada with a smoother transition!

I love your statement, ” I will keep in touch with you, by making sure that every IEN’s that I meet they must have to know you and your team.” I am smiling with my eyes! That is pure delight. I am so happy to know you will stay in touch, either through the people that come to me from your referral or from the delight of getting messages from you!

I have loved having you attend the online sessions, so please come if you can! It has been a delight and pure joy knowing you!

Sincerely,

Kim

🜁 There are times that I am at a point of giving up. But, I always find myself reading your …

🜁 I failed to make the CELBAN grade in one area. I was very disappointed. My weakness: timing..

🎕 After failing the IELTS 7 x, I joined [CELBANPrep]: I passed!!!

🎕 Because of your guidance I did [the CELBAN] and got admission.

♥ I am here for you, what I really want to know is: are you here for yourself?

🜂 I dont know how to start, im so desperate, frustrated, hopeless

🜃 There are times that I want to give up because I’m not sure if I can do [the CELBAN]

How can I get a writing practice test or any material for CELBAN writing practice exam?

🎕 Thank you miss Kim for the words of encouragement. May God bless you all the time

🜂 I took celban twice and I didn’t get expected score

HOPE !! ♥ I just got my CELBAN test result today, I PASSED!

HOPE !! ♥ I passed the CELBAN on my 1st try

♥ it feels like theres something lacking on me – sometimes feeling emptiness.

🖹 I already took CELBAN twice, but … I’m not lucky to pass

🜃 I am from Swift Current [Saskatchewan], I have two jobs… I wanted some [CELBAN] materials to read at home

What is the Word Count on the CELBAN Exam? for CELBAN Writing?

🎕 I PASSeD MY CELBAN!!! I’m so happy I subscribed to CELBANPrep=)

🎕 I took CELBAN, first attempt I failed….I got the confidence to overcome my fear of writing

🎕 I passed my Celban exam the first time…I attempted IELTS twice.

🎕 After 3x failing the IELTS, I finally passed my CELBAN exam in the first attempt!

♥ I don’t have the confident, I feel that I will fail [the CELBAN]

🜂 I am a 7 months postpartum Mom…when will I start

🜃 Do you have an ideas of how a busy mom with a toddler can study?

Hi Honey-Laine,

When I first saw your name, I liked it. Your name means ‘sweet’ as you are! Thank you for your wishes Honey! Happy Thanksgiving to you and to your family as well! It must have been a real thanksgiving day for you, was it? With such a big success, is not that hard to find a reason to be thankful for. Most of all, I think, your faith in God is even stronger, now that He answered your prayer and you’ve passed the exam. CONGRATULATIONS! It is the first step. I believe what you’ve said, “but I will never give up”. Please do not! You are a type of person that God likes it; remember: what you begin, you have to finish! I know you are aware of this and I’m really glad to know you!

May God give you power and strength to finish this process and to fulfill your dream.
If you will need more encouragement along the way, please feel free to contact me and I will be closer to you, the way I can.

Blessings,
Dia
